S1LIING THE CATTLE.

<.John! John! :" cried, for spied the rover
''Where are you going, John? May go,
too?"
Your voice came family up across the clover:
''To salt the cattle. Yes" Away flew.
Down the dark lane, meath the dropping
larches,
You waiting for me just beyond the corn
That opened in long lengths of cleaning
arches,
And led me ont into the dewy morn.
Then we sped on. Did our feet touch the
grasses?
Or did We glide. as sometimes in dreams,
Without a motion save the thought that
passes,
And wills us onward over fields and streams!
A brooks loud brawl called us from the valley,
Telling of pools where the minnows sleep;
And fragrant spruce trees wooed us long TO
daily
With boards of spicy gum packed close and
deep.
ledge, high up, flashed sign of treasure,
That lured us upward from the ferny glen;
We had not learned all pleasing things to
measure,
And mica was as rich as SILVER theR.
We tried to find the thrush that sang below us.
He led us through wild mazes in his fight;
Bnt, oh, what wonders did the woodland show
With shy, small creatures hurrying from
sight!
We went so deep the outer world was ban
ished;
Then shut our eyes, and, twirling round and
round,
Soon every trace of path and home had van
ished,
And we were lost in that enchanted ground.
No hint from sun or pointing shadow needing,
We went the way we found our faces set;
Which led us out to where the herd was feed
ing,
And brought to mind our task, neglected
yet.
When, at yo,lr call, they came with eager
scurry,
You laughed aloud to see my look of fright;
But helped me climb where, free from childish
worry,
1 looked down calmly from boulder's
height.
l watched the horned mass of living crea-
lures
Surging about the base of my retreat,
And marveled at you, as with tranquil fea-
lures
You dropped the salt close by the tramping
feet.
The sun had slipped behind the mountain
fringes
Before we started on our homeward way,
And western skies were bright with sunset
tinges.
All Or short task had filled the summer
day!

THE BOY STOWAWAY.
FOurteen-year-Old John McManus
Falls from Jibboom and is
Drowned.

The full-rigged ship f. B. Sutton,
Capt. G. o. Parker, sailed from Liver
pool for New York on July 5, 1886
When three days at sea 14-year-old
boy named John McManus was found
slowed away in the forecastle. The
Captain discovered by questioning the
boy that he was the only son of widow
who lived in High Park street, Liver
pool, who was i'll good circumstances.
John had been in the habit of visiting a
sailors boarding house kept by Tom
Farriker in st. James street, Liverpool.
On account of his ingenuousness the
boy won the confidence of the sailors,
and rs he had liking for the sea, the sail
ors took him on board of the Sutton and
hid him in the forecastle. His mother
suspected that John had run away, and
she came down and searched the ship,
but was unable to find her boy.
Capt Garter treated the boy with great
kindness, gave him n room, and when
the vessel reached this port the Captain
telegraphed to his mother that her boy
was on board the Sutton. Mrs. Nc
Manus telegraphed word to this city to
send John back on the next steamship,
and his passage was secured on the
Eturia. On the day of sailing John
could not be found. He had run away
and secreted himself until after the
Etruria had sailed, when he came to the
Office of Chapman & Flint. Mr.. A. G..
Ropes, of the latter firm, seeing that
they could do nothing with the boy, per-
suaded Capt. Carter to take McNLanus
to San Francisco with him, from which
place it was supposed the vessel would
be chartered for Liverpool.
From San Francisco, however, the Sut-
ton was chartered for this city with a
cargo of sugar. The Sutton arrived at
this port about week ago after vOy-
age of 133 days. Fate has decreed that
John McManus should never be restored
to his mother. When fifteen days out
from San Francisco McManus was fish
ing from the jibboom. A heavy wave
struck the vessel and toppled the boy
overheard. Life preservers were thrown
to him, and although a heavy sea was
rolling, boats were lowered and every
endeavor made to rescue the drowning
boy, but without avail. The search was
was kept up for two hours. but the sail
ors were forced to return to the ship with
the sOrrowful intelligence that John Nc
Manus was lost.
On the arrival of the ship at this port
Capt. Carter telegraphed the fateful
'tidings to Mrs. McManus.-N. Y. San.

AN INDIAN GRA0E.-A recent freshet
in Wilkes county, Ga, washed away
part OF hill on which an Indian vii
lage once stood, and the ground for
acres around is said to be surewn with
flint arrow heads and spear heads, stone
tomahawks, maces, battle axes, and al
most every instrument of Indian war
fare. Besides these were found mapv
domestic articles, as mortars and peS-
ties for mashing corn, pots hewn out of
solid stone, and broken vases carved in
curious designs. On the top of this
hill was found a large pile of broken
and defective arrow heads, which seemed
to mark the spot where some arrow
maker had his shop.

has learned to believe in "veritication"

here. The unseen is about to become
seen. Not flower has sprung into
even baby life in the open mir, but
we do not hesitate to believe that the
